How to find Eyewitness News 3
Fixing programming guides
If you are a Dish or Sparklight subscriber, you will not be able to use the programming guides to find CBS. You will have to manually enter the CBS channel number on your remote and hit Enter to see the CBS Eyewitness News 3 programs. This also means you will not be able to record your shows using the programming guide. We are working with a third-party vendor that handles the program guides in order to get this corrected.
If you are a DirecTV subscriber, DirecTV has moved CBS / Eyewitness News 3 to channel 7. We have been working on the change prior to January 1. However, the carriers' use of different companies for their programming guides, has made it difficult to get corrected.
On January 1, 2021, Eyewitness News 3 (CBS) is changing frequencies and will originate from KIFI's TV tower instead of KIDK's. It will become channel 8.2.
Telemundo will also move from 8.2 to 8.5.
The Dabl Network will now be seen on KIDK's channel 3.1
The change will only affect viewers who use an antenna. It will not affect viewers using cable or satellite.
If after January 1 you don't see Eyewitness News 3 or Telemundo, you may need to rescan your digital TV.
Here’s how: from your TV menu select 'SCAN' or 'AUTO TUNE.' You can find it by pressing the 'MENU' or 'SETUP' button on your remote. If you are a Cable or Satellite customer, you will likely not have to do anything as these changes will be done by most providers.
